Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter CD and Blu Ray tray treatment?


This is a set of adhesive-backed thin plastic pieces that one attaches to one’s transport or player disc tray. The disk rests on them during non-spin mode, but presumably don’t touch the applied thin pieces during playback mode. The company says the new Dark Matter pieces reduces background scattered light from reaching the photodetector, thereby improving performance. 

Anyone tried this product? Please specify transport or player if you have and your impressions.

Hands up and jonesing up as being one of "those reporters".

I honestly do think it made a difference on both players I installed NDM into.

But what do I know, I am listening to Mamas and Papas so go figure......

GK,

Saying a product of yours "could" make a difference is high praise for Dark Matter compared to most Machina Dynamica offerings. It might even absorb more light or do it more constructively than plastic, who knows?

You gotta take what you can get......

Send some to Stereophile and let them put it through its paces.  Maybe compare it to plastic.   I would appeal to an authority like that in a case like this.






celander,

Do not underestimate yourself. You have enough intelligence left for a few more threads like this. If you want to speed the process up, go back in time to "Talk but not walk" thread and see how quickly your head can get vacuumed. Black holes will seem like carpenters’ workshops after that.

To make it better, this thread, as odd as it may be, is way more useful and challenging than any of the cable threads I have seen. There is even some soft conclusion and agreement about NDM, even from usual skeptics. Try that on a cable thread.
